St Mary's Church, Barnetby

The stone structure features a three-bay nave, a three-bay chancel, and a west tower with small round-headed bell openings at the edge of Lincolnshire Wolds.

Parts of the south wall contain Anglo-Saxon elements from the 11th century, while the tower, north arcade, and chancel were completed during the 12th and 13th centuries.

The church holds a connection to World War II through mentions in Australian navigator Don Charlwood's memoir about RAF Bomber Command operations.

Access to this Grade I listed building requires coordination with local keyholders, and visitors can reach it via Barnetby railway station, located 0.6 miles away.

The church contains an 11th-century window with a carved cat above it, while its original 12th-century lead font now resides in North Lincolnshire Museum.
